The Birthday Party facing is a clever ‘wrap around it self’ type facing so you would need to be aware of that.

Me too!

I even edge stitch the 2+2 skirt pleats.

I have just finished the hems of three lullaby layette shirts. Just have to apply poppers and then take photos.

Next is… Whatever I pick out of the tray. Probably some very cute looking linen layette pants.

If I get the date we want, it mean there will be four weeks to go.

hmm, I will check that out. I still do have my 2 rolls of sulky.

@todd I, for one, find the behind the scenes info fascinating! Sounds like S is built a lot like my oldest. That’s part of the reason why I sew as RTW that fits was hard to find, especially during the tween years.

My tried and true method of making sure a t-shirt neckband is going to fit is to pull it on over my own head. Obviously it…[Read more]

I went and specked out your recommendations. The SF101 is great. I ordered a bolt since I can use it both for projects and for collars etc.

I happily ordered online with a 60% coupon from JoAnn’s, so I got a good deal and it will last a long long time… fingers crossed.

SF101 is the bomb. Jenny, I buy it by the bolt when there is a coupon or a sale.

I’ve been to Seattle fabrics, but have not ordered anything online from them. It’s fun to wander around and look at fabrics I didn’t know you could buy and poke through the drawers upon drawers of closures.

Ladies, thanks for the suggestions. I am going to JoAnn’s tomorrow to feel them. I made a bag once and it was stiff. That’s not what I want, but I do want some body!
